LXIV NO. 23 Colorado’s Largest Weekly 28 PAGES 25 CENTS Individual Confession Bishops asked to avoid abuses of generai absolution By Agostino Bono VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has told U.S. bishops to promote greater individual Confession and to avoid abuses of general absolution. The sacrament of Penance is in crisis in many parts of the world because of “unwarranted interpretations’’ of the requirements for general absolution, he told a group of U.S. bishops May 31. The renewal process envisioned by the Second Vati­ can Council requires “the practice of integral and individual Confession of sins,’’ he added. The Pope said national bishops’ conferences must continuously promote better understanding of the re­ quirements for general absolution contained in canon law, the church’s legal code. “Sporadic efforts are not enough to overcome the crisis,’’ he said. Not criticizing U.S. One U.S. bishop who attended the papal meeting said the Pope was not criticizing U.S. practices but reiterating general principles. “I welcomed it," said Archbishop Thomas C.

  • The Wave of the Future: a Reply to Archbishop
    The Wave of the Future: A Reply to Archbishop Weakland by Michael Davies Fall 1997 Issue Latin Mass Magazine [Michael Davies is president of the International Una Voce Federation and the author of many books and pamphlets on the Church and on the liturgy, including the three- volume Liturgical Revolution.] The cover article in the June 7-14 issue of the Jesuit journal America contained the good news that Archbishop Rembert Weakland is upset. Anything that upsets this Archbishop is good news for every Catholic with a true sensus Catholicus, a sense of what being a Catholic really means. Archbishop Weakland is upset because the liturgical renewal upon which, as a "bishop in the trenches," he had set such hope, has been "totally derailed." He admits that "after the Council abuses arose throughout the Church," but insists that these "all too frequent 'abuses' were, however, the product of zeal and exuberance, not of bad will." He also insists, tautologically: "I can honestly and truthfully say that the aberrations that arose in the late sixties from excessive zeal and exuberance had begun to run their course and to disappear by the early eighties." "The essentials of good liturgy," he continues, "were being emphasized and the needed sense of the sacred was being established. I had hoped that such a trend could be continued so that by the end of the 1980s we would be able to experience the effects of a true renewal." The renewal that the Archbishop had expected was, he lamented, "totally derailed" and his hopes were "shattered." He has no problem in locating the reason for the derailment.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See FUNERAL MASS FOR CARDINAL ANGELO FELICI HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Altar of the Chair, St Peter's Basilica Tuesday, 19 June 2007 We have just heard in the Gospel these words spoken by Christ: "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (Jn 6: 54). They illumine our faith and support our hope at the sad and solemn moment when, gathered round the altar with sentiments of affection and fervent gratitude, we are preparing to say our last farewell to our venerable Brother, Cardinal Angelo Felici. Let us profess with special intensity, with him and for him, the awareness that in the Eucharist we are mysteriously enabled to share in the Lord's death and Resurrection, in the firm belief that God prepares for his good and faithful servants the reward of life without end. This is the faith which guided the long and fruitful priestly life of Cardinal Felici. With this faith, he celebrated the divine Sacrifice, seeking in the Eucharist the constant reference for his spiritual journey. With this faith he drew from the Eucharist the strength to carry out his zealous work in the Lord's vineyard! We are now confident that the Father has welcomed him into his house to participate in the heavenly banquet. Gathered round the Altar, let us pray that this brother of ours in the priesthood may see face to face Jesus Christ his Lord (cf. I Cor 13: 12), whom he strove to serve on earth with love.

Recent events in the Middle East have again raised inall its acuteness the problem of the Holy,, Places in Palestine - a problem which the Holy See has always followed with the keenest attention. 2. In view of the threats which the conflict represented to the Holy City of Jerusalem, His Holiness Pope Paul VI, as early as 5 June 1967, sent a message to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and at the same time through the Pontifical Representatives in the United Arab Republic, at Jerusalem, in Lebanon and in Syria, to the respective Governments of those countries, with a view to the immediate cessation of hostilities (Annex l). 3. Unfortunately, on that very day, fighting spread to the City of Jerusalem. Material damage to the sacred buildings, thanks to God, was not too serious; the main damage was to the Church of the Donnition, on Mount Zion, and to the Church of St. Anne, near which is the residence of the great Melkite Seminary. 4. The Holy See, still with the purpose of preserving the area in which most of the Holy places are grouped, then too^a further step.
